West Virginia Lottery Players Eye Big Wins as Mega Millions Jackpot Grows

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Lottery enthusiasts in West Virginia are gearing up for a chance to win big as the Mega Millions jackpot has soared to $202 million for the drawing on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. This increase comes after no one matched all the winning numbers in the previous drawing on Friday, May 30.

Players can participate in various games including Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, and Daily 3, among others. Winning numbers from these games were announced this week, with the Mega Millions results showing the numbers 16, 24, 29, 36, and 45, along with a Mega Ball of 13.

“The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are slim, but many players find excitement in the game,” said a lottery spokesperson. “It’s all about that hope of hitting it big.”

Tickets for these lottery games can be purchased at local convenience stores, grocery stores, and gas stations across the state. Additionally, some airport terminals sell tickets. For those who prefer a digital approach, the Jackpocket app allows users to order tickets online and choose their numbers.

Jackpocket, which is recognized as the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, provides a user-friendly platform to play varying lottery games, track tickets, and claim winnings. However, users must be physically present in states where Jackpocket operates.

Gambling can be risky, and those who feel they have a problem are encouraged to call 1-800-GAMBLER for assistance. Players must be 18 years or older to play.

The excitement around the Mega Millions continues to capture the attention of West Virginians as they hope to see their numbers come up in the next drawing.
